The maguari stork (Ciconia maguari) is a large species of stork that inhabits seasonal wetlands over much of South America, and is very similar in appearance to the white stork; albeit slightly larger.[2] It is the only species of its genus to occur in the New World[3] and is one of the only three New World stork species, together with the wood stork and the jabiru.[4]
